At Nature School, learning is...
Play-Based
Nature School recognizes the importance of play in a child’s development, and its integral role in their cognitive, physical, social and emotional well-being. As said by Albert Einstein, “Play is the highest form of research”.
Inquiry-Based
Nature School focuses on inquiry-based learning which builds on children’s natural curiosity about the world in which they live. It places their questions and ideas at the centre of the learning experience.
Experiential
Nature School provides children ample opportunities to learn by doing, reflecting on the process, encouraging them to take initiative, make decisions, and be accountable for their results.
